Long time Lincoln Park homeowner Gisele Bosits has seen it all, including the weather forecast of rain straight through Friday morning. She knows she’s in trouble, because the Pompton River was at least six feet above its normal level, and that’s before another round of rain.

Laurie Giordano — faced with her fifth storm — said she has had enough. She has already started gathering her personal belongings and planned to leave “when [the water] starts bubbling up through the floor.”

Another flood veteran, Little Falls resident Robert Graber, was slightly more hopeful.

“We did the whole thing just last year. Who knows? Hopefully we won’t be as bad as last year. We had almost three and a half feet down here,” he said.

You all have some nerve calling these people idiots and morons for moving into a flood zone. Prior to the recent floods of the past 5-7 years (which, by the way, is because other town in Passaic County that are richer end up with more county money leaving no money left for poor, loser-inhabited Little Falls to have enough money to engineer a better pumping system) the river hadn’t flooded the way it recently has since 1999, and 1984 prior to that.

People don’t just have money to up and move. These homes are not mansions, and people got stuck here. Instead of throwing stones, why not be supportive of these people who are trying to make the best of a terrible situation.

Little Falls, aside from the flooding is a beautiful town! It’s the ideal suburb; it has just the right balance of commercial areas and residential areas…Plus there are plenty of parts of Little Falls that are hardly effected by the flooding.

I don’t know why the people of Little Falls and Wayne are complaining? Both of these towns are flood zones- not just parts but the entire town. They knew that before buying a home there. Deal with it and boat to your driveway. Both of these towns are dumps and should be deemed uninhabitable
